The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was founded by Royal Charter granted in 1701. The primary object was to provide clergy to live among the American colonists for religious and educational purposes. Their efforts soon expanded to other parts of the world. In the first half of the 18th century, the Society was at work in America, Newfoundland, the West Indies and the Bay of Honduras. In the 19th century, work expanded to other islands in the West Indies, British Guiana and India. The Society entered South Africa in 1821 and expanded further into Africa within the next 30 years.
Before 1840, they established congregations in Australia. The Society entered the Pacific islands, working in Melanesia in 1796, Polynesia in 1880 and the Hawaiian islands in 1862. They established missions in Borneo in 1846, Malaya in 1861, Japan in 1873, China in 1874 and Korea in 1883. They had sent out teachers since the early 18th century and, by 1911, also formed a medical missions department. In 1965, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts merged with the Universities' Mission to Central Africa to form the United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.
